### 1/5 — Cannot even fix a typo

*2022-04-20, version 1.6*

Have a typo? 
Want to change a word? 
Tough. 
Not possible. 
Really quite worthless when you Cannot actually edit the text.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2021-10-23, version 1.6*

Him

### 5/5 — Really neat app!

*2021-07-29, version 1.6*

I needed a search and replace functionality for copied texts. This app offers it and it works well! Thanks 🙂

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2020-03-17, version 1.5*

Exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Five Stars

*2019-01-21, version 1.4*

This app just saved me a ton of work, in seconds.  Play around with it.  Learn how to use it in a few minutes (press the “S” in the top left corner, when in the app).  Excellent for search and replace and sort and more.  Really worthwhile if you deal with hundreds or thousands of lines of data — at least, for me.  You saved me money, time and gave me a better work product.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Really useful!

*2018-09-30*

Great for sorting text, especially for large copy & paste!
Small, simple and functional!

### 3/5 — ok.

*2018-09-17, version 1.4*

sicherlich brauchbar. wobei einige Funktionen mittlerweile auch in Schreib-Apps vorhanden sind.

Sortierung funktioniert bei mir nicht wenn die Wörter hintereinander mit Komma getrennt kopiert werden.
Untereinander geschrieben funktioniert’s.

Leerzeichen wurden bei mir nicht alle gelöscht. Geht vielleicht aber auch nach einem anderen Kriterium. Hab es über die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten nicht hinbekommen.

### 5/5 — Very Handy - Quick & easy to use

*2018-08-19, version 1.3*

This is an excellent app that does EXACTLY what it says allowing you to sort and clean up any text from the clipboard. Especially handy for sorting lists and cleaning out extra returns.

### 5/5 — Tolles Tool

*2017-12-18, version 1.3*

Tolles Tool um z.b Notes zu sortieren oder Texte zu ersetzen.

### 5/5 — Thump up app

*2017-06-21, version 1.2*

I use this to correct my writing .It's perfect
